Protein Packed Quinoa Veggie Egg White Cups

These healthy Quinoa Veggie Egg White Cups are low in calorie, high in protein and fiber, and they’re delicious. Not to mention you can make them one day and then have your grab and go breakfast for the rest of the week ready at your fingertips.

For a while now I’ve been noticing that egg cups and eggs baked in muffin tins have become all the rage. It was after watching a particular video on Facebook that I decided to make my own.

The difference you may notice in mine is that I added quinoa to the mix because I’d had some leftover in the fridge and I thought it would be a tasty (and healthy) addition to an already tasty and healthy breakfast option.

The ingredient list;

broccoli

red bell pepper

shallots

egg whites

quinoa/brown rice combo

cheddar cheese

salt and pepper

The kitchen tools needed;

muffin tin

muffin tin liners (optional)

cooking spray

cutting board

chef’s knife

small bowl

damp paper towels.

The veggies I chose for my Quinoa Veggie Egg White Cups are the veggies I had on hand in my fridge. You, however, may use whatever your favorites are, or whatever veggies you have in your kitchen.

These are an especially good thing to make when it’s time to clean out the fridge of leftovers and to use up bits and bites of items that might otherwise get tossed.

Also, if you’re not specifically a fan of egg whites alone, feel free to use the entire egg (yolks included), or perhaps do a mix of both. Remember, there are no rules here. Use whatever you like, and tailor these to your and your families taste.

The only rule of thumb I would caution you about is when you’re preparing your veggies, finely chop them as they’ll be going into muffin tins, and in this case, size does matter.
